I wanted to revisit the engine stand thing and ask your opinion of something I read once, Jim. I cannot remember what team it was......maybe Robert Yates, but I remember whomever it was saying how they don't use the bellhousing style engine stands because they believed the weight of the engine on the stand distorted the engine where some tolerances were concerned. You think there's anything to that?
